-1.0.1 (2009-07-22)
-==================
-
-- Added support for ``has_resource``, ``resource_isdir``, and
- ``resource_listdir`` to the resource "OverrideProvider"; this fixes
- a bug with a symptom that a file could not be overridden in a
- resource directory unless a file with the same name existed in the
- original directory being overridden.
-
-- Fixed documentation bug showing invalid test for values from the
- ``matchdict``: they are stored as attributes of the ``Article``, rather
- than subitems.
-
-- Fixed documentation bug showing wrong environment key for the ``matchdict``
- produced by the matching route.
-
-- Added a workaround for a bug in Python 2.6, 2.6.1, and 2.6.2 having
- to do with a recursion error in the mimetypes module when trying to
- serve static files from Paste's FileApp:
- http://bugs.python.org/issue5853. Symptom: File
- "/usr/lib/python2.6/mimetypes.py", line 244, in guess_type return
- guess_type(url, strict) RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth
- exceeded. Thanks to Armin Ronacher for identifying the symptom and
- pointing out a fix.
-
-- Minor edits to tutorials for accuracy based on feedback.
-
-- Declared Paste and PasteDeploy dependencies.
-
-1.0 (2009-07-05)
-================
-
-- Retested and added some content to GAE tutorial.
-
-- Edited "Extending" narrative docs chapter.
-
-- Added "Deleting the Database" section to the "Defining Models"
- chapter of the traversal wiki tutorial.
-
-- Spell checking of narratives and tutorials.
-
-1.0b2 (2009-07-03)
-==================
-
-- ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` ZCML directive didn't work
- without an ``environ_key`` directive (didn't match docs).
-
-- Fix ``configure_zcml`` filespec check on Windows. Previously if an
- absolute filesystem path including a drive letter was passed as
- ``filename`` (or as ``configure_zcml`` in the options dict) to
- ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``, it would be treated as a
- package:resource_name specification.
-
-- Fix inaccuracies and import errors in bfgwiki (traversal+ZODB) and
- bfgwiki2 (urldispatch+SA) tutorials.
-
-- Use bfgsite index for all tutorial setup.cfg files.
-
-- Full documentation grammar/style/spelling audit.
-
-1.0b1 (2009-07-02)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Allow a Paste config file (``configure_zcml``) value or an
- environment variable (``BFG_CONFIGURE_ZCML``) to name a ZCML file
- (optionally package-relative) that will be used to bootstrap the
- application. Previously, the integrator could not influence which
- ZCML file was used to do the boostrapping (only the original
- application developer could do so).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added a "Resources" chapter to the narrative documentation which
- explains how to override resources within one package from another
- package.
-
-- Added an "Extending" chapter to the narrative documentation which
- explains how to extend or modify an existing BFG application using
- another Python package and ZCML.
-
-1.0a9 (2009-07-01)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Make it possible to pass strings in the form
- "package_name:relative/path" to APIs like ``render_template``,
- ``render_template_to_response``, and ``get_template``. Sometimes
- the package in which a caller lives is a direct namespace package,
- so the module which is returned is semi-useless for navigating from.
- In this way, the caller can control the horizontal and vertical of
- where things get looked up from.
-
-1.0a8 (2009-07-01)
-==================
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Deprecate the ``authentication_policy`` and ``authorization_policy``
- arguments to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``. Instead, developers
- should use the various authentication policy ZCML directives
- (``repozewho1authenticationpolicy``,
- ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` and
- ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``) and the `aclauthorizationpolicy``
- authorization policy directive as described in the changes to the
- "Security" narrative documenation chapter and the wiki tutorials.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add three new ZCML directives which configure authentication
- policies:
-
- - ``repozewho1authenticationpolicy``
-
- - ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy``
-
- - ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``
-
-- Add a new ZCML directive which configures an ACL authorization
- policy named ``aclauthorizationpolicy``.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Bug fix: when a ``repoze.bfg.resource.PackageOverrides`` class was
- instantiated, and the package it was overriding already had a
- ``__loader__`` attribute, it would fail at startup time, even if the
- ``__loader__`` attribute was another PackageOverrides instance. We
- now replace any ``__loader__`` that is also a PackageOverrides
- instance. Symptom: ``ConfigurationExecutionError: <type
- 'exceptions.TypeError'>: Package <module 'karl.views' from
- '/Users/chrism/projects/osi/bfgenv/src/karl/karl/views/__init__.pyc'>
- already has a __loader__ (probably a module in a zipped egg)``.
-
-1.0a7 (2009-06-30)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a ``reload_resources`` configuration file setting (aka the
- ``BFG_RELOAD_RESOURCES`` environment variable). When this is set to
- true, the server never needs to be restarted when moving files
- between directory resource overrides (esp. for templates currently).
-
-- Add a ``reload_all`` configuration file setting (aka the
- ``BFG_RELOAD_ALL`` environment variable) that implies both
- ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_templates``.
-
-- The ``static`` helper view class now uses a ``PackageURLParser`` in
- order to allow for the overriding of static resources (CSS / logo
- files, etc) using the ``resource`` ZCML directive. The
- ``PackageURLParser`` class was added to a (new) ``static`` module in
- BFG; it is a subclass of the ``StaticURLParser`` class in
- ``paste.urlparser``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.templating.renderer_from_cache`` function now
- checks for the ``reload_resources`` setting; if it's true, it does
- not register a template renderer (it won't use the registry as a
- template renderer cache).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add ``pkg_resources`` to the glossary.
-
-- Update the "Environment" docs to note the existence of
- ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_all``.
-
-- Updated the ``bfg_alchemy`` paster template to include two views:
- the view on the root shows a list of links to records; the view on
- a record shows the details for that object.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Use a colon instead of a tab as the separator between package name
- and relpath to form the "spec" when register a ITemplateRenderer.
-
-- Register a ``repoze.bfg.resource.OverrideProvider`` as a
- pkg_resources provider only for modules which are known to have
- overrides, instead of globally, when a <resource> directive is used
- (performance).
-
-1.0a6 (2009-06-29)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Use ``caller_package`` function instead of ``caller_module``
- function within ``templating`` to avoid needing to name the caller
- module in resource overrides (actually match docs).
-
-- Make it possible to override templates stored directly in a module
- with templates in a subdirectory of the same module, stored directly
- within another module, or stored in a subdirectory of another module
- (actually match docs).
-
-1.0a5 (2009-06-28)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A new ZCML directive exists named "resource". This ZCML directive
- allows you to override Chameleon templates within a package (both
- directories full of templates and individual template files) with
- other templates in the same package or within another package. This
- allows you to "fake out" a view's use of a template, causing it to
- retrieve a different template than the one actually named by a
- relative path to a call like
- ``render_template_to_response('templates/mytemplate.pt')``. For
- example, you can override a template file by doing::
-
- <resource
- to_override="some.package:templates/mytemplate.pt"
- override_with="another.package:othertemplates/anothertemplate.pt"
- />
-
- The string passed to "to_override" and "override_with" is named a
- "specification". The colon separator in a specification separates
- the package name from a package-relative directory name. The colon
- and the following relative path are optional. If they are not
- specified, the override attempts to resolve every lookup into a
- package from the directory of another package. For example::
-
- <resource
- to_override="some.package"
- override_with="another.package"
- />
-
-
- Individual subdirectories within a package can also be overridden::
-
- <resource
- to_override="some.package:templates/"
- override_with="another.package:othertemplates/"
- />
-
- If you wish to override a directory with another directory, you must
- make sure to attach the slash to the end of both the ``to_override``
- specification and the ``override_with`` specification. If you fail
- to attach a slash to the end of a specification that points a
- directory, you will get unexpected results. You cannot override a
- directory specification with a file specification, and vice versa (a
- startup error will occur if you try).
-
- You cannot override a resource with itself (a startup error will
- occur if you try).
-
- Only individual *package* resources may be overridden. Overrides
- will not traverse through subpackages within an overridden package.
- This means that if you want to override resources for both
- ``some.package:templates``, and ``some.package.views:templates``,
- you will need to register two overrides.
-
- The package name in a specification may start with a dot, meaning
- that the package is relative to the package in which the ZCML file
- resides. For example::
-
- <resource
- to_override=".subpackage:templates/"
- override_with="another.package:templates/"
- />
-
- Overrides for the same ``to_overrides`` specification can be named
- multiple times within ZCML. Each ``override_with`` path will be
- consulted in the order defined within ZCML, forming an override
- search path.
-
- Resource overrides can actually override resources other than
- templates. Any software which uses the ``pkg_resources``
- ``get_resource_filename``, ``get_resource_stream`` or
- ``get_resource_string`` APIs will obtain an overridden file when an
- override is used. However, the only built-in facility which uses
- the ``pkg_resources`` API within BFG is the templating stuff, so we
- only call out template overrides here.
-
-- Use the ``pkg_resources`` API to locate template filenames instead
- of dead-reckoning using the ``os.path`` module.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.templating`` module now uses ``pkg_resources`` to
- locate and register template files instead of using an absolute
- path name.
-
-1.0a4 (2009-06-25)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Cause ``:segment`` matches in route paths to put a Unicode-decoded
- and URL-dequoted value in the matchdict for the value matched.
- Previously a non-decoded non-URL-dequoted string was placed in the
- matchdict as the value.
-
-- Cause ``*remainder`` matches in route paths to put a *tuple* in the
- matchdict dictionary in order to be able to present Unicode-decoded
- and URL-dequoted values for the traversal path. Previously a
- non-decoded non-URL-dequoted string was placed in the matchdict as
- the value.
-
-- Add optional ``max_age`` keyword value to the ``remember`` method of
- ``repoze.bfg.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy``; if this
- value is passed to ``remember``, the generated cookie will have a
- corresponding Max-Age value.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add information to the URL Dispatch narrative documentation about
- path pattern matching syntax.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Make ``route_url`` URL-quote segment replacements during generation.
- Remainder segments are not quoted.
-
-1.0a3 (2009-06-24)
-==================
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg`` no longer relies on the Routes package to interpret
- URL paths. All known existing ``path`` patterns will continue to
- work with the reimplemented logic, which lives in
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch``. ``<route>`` ZCML directives which use
- certain attributes (uncommon ones) may not work (see "Backwards
- Incompatibilities" below).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- ``model_url`` when passed a request that was generated as a result
- of a route match would fail in a call to ``route.generate``.
-
-- BFG-on-GAE didn't work due to a corner case bug in the fallback
- Python implementation of ``threading.local`` (symptom:
- "Initialization arguments are not supported"). Thanks to Michael
- Bernstein for the bug report.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added a "corner case" explanation to the "Hybrid Apps" chapter
- explaining what to do when "the wrong" view is matched.
-
-- Use ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API in tutorials rather than Routes
- ``url_for`` API.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added the ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API. This API allows you to
- generate URLs based on ``<route>`` declarations. See the URL
- Dispatch narrative chapter and the "repoze.bfg.url" module API
- documentation for more information.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- As a result of disusing Routes, using the Routes ``url_for`` API
- inside a BFG application (as was suggested by previous iterations of
- tutorials) will no longer work. Use the
- ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` method instead.
-
-- The following attributes on the ``<route>`` ZCML directive no longer
- work: ``encoding``, ``static``, ``filter``, ``condition_method``,
- ``condition_subdomain``, ``condition_function``, ``explicit``, or
- ``subdomains``. These were all Routes features.
-
-- The ``<route>`` ZCML directive no longer supports the
- ``<requirement>`` subdirective. This was a Routes feature.
-
-1.0a2 (2009-06-23)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``bfg_routesalchemy`` paster template app tests failed due to a
- mismatch between test and view signatures.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a ``view_for`` attribute to the ``route`` ZCML directive. This
- attribute should refer to an interface or a class (ala the ``for``
- attribute of the ``view`` ZCML directive).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Conditional documentation in installation section ("how to install a
- Python interpreter").
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``callback`` argument of the ``repoze.bfg.authentication``
- authentication policies named ``RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy``,
- ``RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy``, and
- ``AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` now must accept two positional
- arguments: the orginal argument accepted by each (userid or
- identity) plus a second argument, which will be the current request.
- Apologies, this is required to service finding groups when there is
- no "global" database connection.
-
-1.0a1 (2009-06-22)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A new ZCML directive was added named ``notfound``. This ZCML
- directive can be used to name a view that should be invoked when the
- request can't otherwise be resolved to a view callable. For example::
-
- <notfound
- view="helloworld.views.notfound_view"/>
-
-- A new ZCML directive was added named ``forbidden``. This ZCML
- directive can be used to name a view that should be invoked when a
- view callable for a request is found, but cannot be invoked due to
- an authorization failure. For example::
-
- <forbidden
- view="helloworld.views.forbidden_view"/>
-
-- Allow views to be *optionally* defined as callables that accept only
- a request object, instead of both a context and a request (which
- still works, and always will). The following types work as views in
- this style:
-
- - functions that accept a single argument ``request``, e.g.::
-
- def aview(request):
- pass
-
- - new and old-style classes that have an ``__init__`` method that
- accepts ``self, request``, e.g.::
-
- def View(object):
- __init__(self, request):
- pass
-
- - Arbitrary callables that have a ``__call__`` method that accepts
- ``self, request``, e.g.::
-
- def AView(object):
- def __call__(self, request):
- pass
- view = AView()
-
- This likely should have been the calling convention all along, as
- the request has ``context`` as an attribute already, and with views
- called as a result of URL dispatch, having the context in the
- arguments is not very useful. C'est la vie.
-
-- Cache the absolute path in the caller's package globals within
- ``repoze.bfg.path`` to get rid of repeated (expensive) calls to
- os.path.abspath.
-
-- Add ``reissue_time`` and ``timeout`` parameters to
- ``repoze.bfg.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy``
- constructor. If these are passed, cookies will be reset every so
- often (cadged from the same change to repoze.who lately).
-
-- The matchdict related to the matching of a Routes route is available
- on the request as the ``matchdict`` attribute:
- ``request.matchdict``. If no route matched, this attribute will be
- None.
-
-- Make 404 responses slightly cheaper by showing
- ``environ["PATH_INFO"]`` on the notfound result page rather than the
- fullly computed URL.
-
-- Move LRU cache implementation into a separate package
- (``repoze.lru``).
-
-- The concepts of traversal and URL dispatch have been unified. It is
- now possible to use the same sort of factory as both a traversal
- "root factory" and what used to be referred to as a urldispatch
- "context factory".
-
-- When the root factory argument (as a first argument) passed to
- ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` is ``None``, a *default* root factory
- is used. This is in support of using routes as "root finders"; it
- supplants the idea that there is a default
- ``IRoutesContextFactory``.
-
-- The `view`` ZCML statement and the ``repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view``
- decorator now accept an extra argument: ``route_name``. If a
- ``route_name`` is specified, it must match the name of a previously
- defined ``route`` statement. When it is specified, the view will
- only be called when that route matches during a request.
-
-- It is now possible to perfom traversal *after* a route has matched.
- Use the pattern ``*traverse`` in a ``<route>`` ``path`` attribute
- within ZCML, and the path remainder which it matches will be used as
- a traversal path.
-
-- When any route defined matches, the WSGI environment will now
- contain a key ``bfg.routes.route`` (the Route object which matched),
- and a key ``bfg.routes.matchdict`` (the result of calling route.match).
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Utility registrations against
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView`` are now deprecated. Use
- the ``notfound`` and ``forbidden`` ZCML directives instead (see the
- "Hooks" chapter for more information). Such registrations will
- continue to work, but the notfound and forbidden directives do
- "extra work" to ensure that the callable named by the directive can
- be called by the router even if it's a class or
- request-argument-only view.
-
-Removals
---------
-
-- The ``IRoutesContext``, ``IRoutesContextFactory``, and
- ``IContextNotFound`` interfaces were removed from
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces``. These were never APIs.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContextNotFound``,
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContextURL`` classes were removed.
- These were also never APIs.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Moved the ``repoze.bfg.push`` module, which implemented the ``pushpage``
- decorator, into a separate distribution, ``repoze.bfg.pushpage``.
- Applications which used this decorator should continue to work after
- adding that distribution to their installation requirements.
-
-- Changing the default request factory via an IRequestFactory utility
- registration (as used to be documented in the "Hooks" chapter's
- "Changing the request factory" section) is no longer supported. The
- dance to manufacture a request is complicated as a result of
- unifying traversal and url dispatch, making it highly unlikely for
- anyone to be able to override it properly. For those who just want
- to decorate or modify a request, use a NewRequestEvent subscriber
- (see the Events chapter in the documentation).
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.IRequestFactory`` interface was removed. See the
- bullet above for why.
-
-- Routes "context factories" (spelled as the factory argument to a
- route statement in ZCML) must now expect the WSGI environ as a
- single argument rather than a set of keyword arguments. They can
- obtain the match dictionary by asking for
- environ['bfg.routes.matchdict']. This is the same set of keywords
- that used to be passed to urldispatch "context factories" in BFG 0.9
- and below.
-
-- Using the ``@zope.component.adapter`` decorator on a bfg view
- function no longer works. Use the ``@repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view``
- decorator instead to mark a function (or a class) as a view.
-
-- The name under which the matching route object is found in the
- environ was changed from ``bfg.route`` to ``bfg.routes.route``.
-
-- Finding the root is now done *before* manufacturing a request object
- (and sending a new request event) within the router (it used to be
- performed afterwards).
-
-- Adding ``*path_info`` to a route no longer changes the PATH_INFO for
- a request that matches using URL dispatch. This feature was only
- there to service the ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp2`` decorator and it
- did it wrong; use ``*subpath`` instead now.
-
-- The values of ``subpath``, ``traversed``, and ``virtual_root_path``
- attached to the request object are always now tuples instead of
- lists (performance).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``bfg_alchemy`` Paster template named "repoze.tm" in its
- pipeline rather than "repoze.tm2", causing the startup to fail.
-
-- Move BBB logic for registering an
- IAuthenticationPolicy/IForbiddenView/INotFoundView based on older
- concepts from the router module's ``make_app`` function into the
- ``repoze.bfg.zcml.zcml_configure`` callable, to service
- compatibility with scripts that use "zope.configuration.xmlconfig"
- (replace with ``repoze.bfg.zml.zcml_configure`` as necessary to get
- BBB logic)
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add interface docs related to how to create authentication policies
- and authorization policies to the "Security" narrative chapter.
-
-- Added a (fairly sad) "Combining Traversal and URL Dispatch" chapter
- to the narrative documentation. This explains the usage of
- ``*traverse`` and ``*subpath`` in routes URL patters.
-
-- A "router" chapter explaining the request/response lifecycle at a
- high level was added.
-
-- Replaced all mentions and explanations of a routes "context factory"
- with equivalent explanations of a "root factory" (context factories
- have been disused).
-
-- Updated Routes bfgwiki2 tutorial to reflect the fact that context
- factories are now no longer used.
-
-0.9.1 (2009-06-02)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add API named ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings`` which retrieves a
- derivation of values passed as the ``options`` value of
- ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``. This API should be preferred
- instead of using getUtility(ISettings). I added a new
- ``repoze.bfg.settings`` API document as well.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Restored missing entry point declaration for bfg_alchemy paster
- template, which was accidentally removed in 0.9.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Fix a reference to ``wsgiapp`` in the ``wsgiapp2`` API documentation
- within the ``repoze.bfg.wsgi`` module.
-
-API Removals
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` API was removed: it didn't do
- enough to be very helpful and had a misleading name.
-
-0.9 (2009-06-01)
-================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- It was not possible to register a custom ``IRoutesContextFactory``
- for use as a default context factory as documented in the "Hooks"
- chapter.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The ``request_type`` argument of ZCML ``view`` declarations and
- ``bfg_view`` decorators can now be one of the strings ``GET``,
- ``POST``, ``PUT``, ``DELETE``, or ``HEAD`` instead of a reference to
- the respective interface type imported from
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces``.
-
-- The ``route`` ZCML directive now accepts ``request_type`` as an
- alias for its ``condition_method`` argument for symmetry with the
- ``view`` directive.
-
-- The ``bfg_routesalchemy`` paster template now provides a unit test
- and actually uses the database during a view rendering.
-
-Removals
---------
-
-- Remove ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.setManager``. It was only used in
- unit tests.
-
-- Remove ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``,
- ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.NotFound``, and ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.Unauthorized``.
- These classes were disused with the introduction of the
- ``IUnauthorizedView`` and ``INotFoundView`` machinery.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add description to narrative templating chapter about how to use
- Chameleon text templates.
-
-- Changed Views narrative chapter to use method strings rather than
- interface types, and moved advanced interface type usage to Events
- narrative chapter.
-
-- Added a Routes+SQLAlchemy wiki tutorial.
-
-0.9a8 (2009-05-31)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- It is now possible to register a custom
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` for a given application.
- This feature replaces the
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory`` feature previously
- described in the Hooks chapter. The INotFoundView will be called
- when the framework detects that a view lookup done as a result of a
- request fails; it should accept a context object and a request
- object; it should return an IResponse object (a webob response,
- basically). See the Hooks narrative chapter of the BFG docs for
- more info.
-
-- The error presented when a view invoked by the router returns a
- non-response object now includes the view's name for troubleshooting
- purposes.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- A "new response" event is emitted for forbidden and notfound views.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory`` interface has been
- deprecated in favor of using the new
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` mechanism.
-
-Renames
--------
-
-- Renamed ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` to
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView``.
-
-0.9a7 (2009-05-30)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Remove "context" argument from ``effective_principals`` and
- ``authenticated_userid`` function APIs in ``repoze.bfg.security``,
- effectively a doing reversion to 0.8 and before behavior. Both
- functions now again accept only the ``request`` parameter.
-
-0.9a6 (2009-05-29)
-==================
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Changed "BFG Wiki" tutorial to use AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy
- rather than repoze.who.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add an AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy. This policy retrieves
- credentials from an auth_tkt cookie managed by the application
- itself (instead of relying on an upstream data source for
- authentication data). See the Security API chapter of the
- documentation for more info.
-
-- Allow RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy and
- RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy to accept various constructor
- arguments. See the Security API chapter of the documentation for
- more info.
-
-0.9a5 (2009-05-28)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a ``get_app`` API functions to the ``paster`` module. This
- obtains a WSGI application from a config file given a config file
- name and a section name. See the ``repoze.bfg.paster`` API docs for
- more information.
-
-- Add a new module named ``scripting``. It contains a ``get_root``
- API function, which, provided a Router instance, returns a traversal
- root object and a "closer". See the ``repoze.bfg.scripting`` API
- docs for more info.
-
-0.9a4 (2009-05-27)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Try checking for an "old style" security policy *after* we parse
- ZCML (thinko).
-
-0.9a3 (2009-05-27)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Allow IAuthenticationPolicy and IAuthorizationPolicy to be
- overridden via ZCML registrations (do ZCML parsing after
- registering these in router.py).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added "BFG Wiki" tutorial to documentation; it describes
- step-by-step how to create a traversal-based ZODB application with
- authentication.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Added deprecations for imports of ``ACLSecurityPolicy``,
- ``InheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``RemoteUserACLSecurityPolicy``,
- ``RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``WhoACLSecurityPolicy``,
- and ``WhoInheritingACLSecurityPolicy`` from the
- ``repoze.bfg.security`` module; for the meantime (for backwards
- compatibility purposes) these live in the ``repoze.bfg.secpols``
- module. Note however, that the entire concept of a "security
- policy" is deprecated in BFG in favor of separate authentication and
- authorization policies, so any use of a security policy will
- generate additional deprecation warnings even if you do start using
- ``repoze.bfg.secpols``. ``repoze.bfg.secpols`` will disappear in a
- future release of ``repoze.bfg``.
-
-Deprecated Import Alias Removals
---------------------------------
-
-- Remove ``repoze.bfg.template`` module. All imports from this
- package have been deprecated since 0.3.8. Instead, import
- ``get_template``, ``render_template``, and
- ``render_template_to_response`` from the
- ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` module.
-
-- Remove backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.split_path`` (deprecated since 0.6.5). This
- must now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traversal_path``).
-
-- Remove backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContext`` (deprecated since 0.6.5).
- This must now be imported as
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.DefaultRoutesContext``.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import aliases for
- ``repoze.bfg.router.get_options`` and ``repoze.bfg.router.Settings``
- (deprecated since 0.6.2). These both must now be imported from
- ``repoze.bfg.settings``.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootPolicy`` (deprecated since 0.6.2). It
- must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootFactory`` now.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). It
- must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` now.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` (deprecated since 0.4.4).
- It must be imported as
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory`` now.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` (deprecated since
- 0.4.4). This must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.ZPTTemplateRenderer``
- now.
-
-0.9a2 (2009-05-27)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A paster command has been added named "bfgshell". This command can
- be used to get an interactive prompt with your BFG root object in
- the global namespace. E.g.::
-
- bin/paster bfgshell /path/to/myapp.ini myapp
-
- See the ``Project`` chapter in the BFG documentation for more
- information.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The name ``repoze.bfg.registry.registry_manager`` was never an API,
- but scripts in the wild were using it to set up an environment for
- use under a debug shell. A backwards compatibility shim has been
- added for this purpose, but the feature is deprecated.
-
-0.9a1 (2009-5-27)
-=================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- New API functions named ``forget`` and ``remember`` are available in
- the ``security`` module. The ``forget`` function returns headers
- which will cause the currently authenticated user to be logged out
- when set in a response. The ``remember`` function (when passed the
- proper arguments) will return headers which will cause a principal
- to be "logged in" when set in a response. See the Security API
- chapter of the docs for more info.
-
-- New keyword arguments to the ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` call
- have been added: ``authentication_policy`` and
- ``authorization_policy``. These should, respectively, be an
- implementation of an authentication policy (an object implementing
- the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAuthenticationPolicy`` interface) and
- an implementation of an authorization policy (an object implementing
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAuthorizationPolicy)``. Concrete
- implementations of authentication policies exist in
- ``repoze.bfg.authentication``. Concrete implementations of
- authorization policies exist in ``repoze.bfg.authorization``.
-
- Both ``authentication_policy`` and ``authorization_policy`` default
- to ``None``.
-
- If ``authentication_policy`` is ``None``, but
- ``authorization_policy`` is *not* ``None``, then
- ``authorization_policy`` is ignored (the ability to do authorization
- depends on authentication).
-
- If the ``authentication_policy`` argument is *not* ``None``, and the
- ``authorization_policy`` argument *is* ``None``, the authorization
- policy defaults to an authorization implementation that uses ACLs
- (``repoze.bfg.authorization.ACLAuthorizationPolicy``).
-
- We no longer encourage configuration of "security policies" using
- ZCML, as previously we did for ``ISecurityPolicy``. This is because
- it's not uncommon to need to configure settings for concrete
- authorization or authentication policies using paste .ini
- parameters; the app entry point for your application is the natural
- place to do this.
-
-- Two new abstractions have been added in the way of adapters used by
- the system: an ``IAuthorizationPolicy`` and an
- ``IAuthenticationPolicy``. A combination of these (as registered by
- the ``securitypolicy`` ZCML directive) take the place of the
- ``ISecurityPolicy`` abstraction in previous releases of repoze.who.
- The API functions in ``repoze.who.security`` (such as
- ``authentication_userid``, ``effective_principals``,
- ``has_permission``, and so on) have been changed to try to make use
- of these new adapters. If you're using an older ``ISecurityPolicy``
- adapter, the system will still work, but it will print deprecation
- warnings when such a policy is used.
-
-- The way the (internal) IViewPermission utilities registered via ZCML
- are invoked has changed. They are purely adapters now, returning a
- boolean result, rather than returning a callable. You shouldn't have
- been using these anyway. ;-)
-
-- New concrete implementations of IAuthenticationPolicy have been
- added to the ``repoze.bfg.authentication`` module:
- ``RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy`` which uses ``repoze.who``
- identity to retrieve authentication data from and
- ``RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy``, which uses the ``REMOTE_USER``
- value in the WSGI environment to retrieve authentication data.
-
-- A new concrete implementation of IAuthorizationPolicy has been added
- to the ``repoze.bfg.authorization`` module:
- ``ACLAuthorizationPolicy`` which uses ACL inheritance to do
- authorization.
-
-- It is now possible to register a custom
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` for a given
- application. This feature replaces the
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` feature previously
- described in the Hooks chapter. The IForbiddenResponseFactory will
- be called when the framework detects an authorization failure; it
- should accept a context object and a request object; it should
- return an IResponse object (a webob response, basically). Read the
- below point for more info and see the Hooks narrative chapter of the
- BFG docs for more info.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Custom NotFound and Forbidden (nee' Unauthorized) WSGI applications
- (registered as a utility for INotFoundAppFactory and
- IUnauthorizedAppFactory) could rely on an environment key named
- ``message`` describing the circumstance of the response. This key
- has been renamed to ``repoze.bfg.message`` (as per the WSGI spec,
- which requires environment extensions to contain dots).
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` interface has
- been deprecated in favor of using the new
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` mechanism.
-
-- The ``view_execution_permitted`` API should now be imported from the
- ``repoze.bfg.security`` module instead of the ``repoze.bfg.view``
- module.
-
-- The ``authenticated_userid`` and ``effective_principals`` APIs in
- ``repoze.bfg.security`` used to only take a single argument
- (request). They now accept two arguments (``context`` and
- ``request``). Calling them with a single argument is still
- supported but issues a deprecation warning. (NOTE: this change was
- reverted in 0.9a7; meaning the 0.9 versions of these functions
- again accept ``request`` only, just like 0.8 and before).
-
-- Use of "old-style" security policies (those base on ISecurityPolicy)
- is now deprecated. See the "Security" chapter of the docs for info
- about activating an authorization policy and an authentication poicy.
-
-0.8.1 (2009-05-21)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Class objects may now be used as view callables (both via ZCML and
- via use of the ``bfg_view`` decorator in Python 2.6 as a class
- decorator). The calling semantics when using a class as a view
- callable is similar to that of using a class as a Zope "browser
- view": the class' ``__init__`` must accept two positional parameters
- (conventionally named ``context``, and ``request``). The resulting
- instance must be callable (it must have a ``__call__`` method).
- When called, the instance should return a response. For example::
-
- from webob import Response
-
- class MyView(object):
- def __init__(self, context, request):
- self.context = context
- self.request = request
-
- def __call__(self):
- return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)
-
- See the "Views" chapter in the documentation and the
- ``repoze.bfg.view`` API documentation for more information.
-
-- Removed the pickling of ZCML actions (the code that wrote
- ``configure.zcml.cache`` next to ``configure.zcml`` files in
- projects). The code which managed writing and reading of the cache
- file was a source of subtle bugs when users switched between
- imperative (e.g. ``@bfg_view``) registrations and declarative
- registrations (e.g. the ``view`` directive in ZCML) on the same
- project. On a moderately-sized project (535 ZCML actions and 15 ZCML
- files), executing actions read from the pickle was saving us only
- about 200ms (2.5 sec vs 2.7 sec average). On very small projects (1
- ZCML file and 4 actions), startup time was comparable, and sometimes
- even slower when reading from the pickle, and both ways were so fast
- that it really just didn't matter anyway.
-
-0.8 (2009-05-18)
-================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added a ``traverse`` function to the ``repoze.bfg.traversal``
- module. This function may be used to retrieve certain values
- computed during path resolution. See the Traversal API chapter of
- the documentation for more information about this function.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Internal: ``ITraverser`` callables should now return a dictionary
- rather than a tuple. Up until 0.7.0, all ITraversers were assumed
- to return a 3-tuple. In 0.7.1, ITraversers were assumed to return a
- 6-tuple. As (by evidence) it's likely we'll need to add further
- information to the return value of an ITraverser callable, 0.8
- assumes that an ITraverser return a dictionary with certain elements
- in it. See the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverser`` interface for
- the list of keys that should be present in the dictionary.
- ``ITraversers`` which return tuples will still work, although a
- deprecation warning will be issued.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- If your code used the ITraverser interface directly (not via an API
- function such as ``find_model``) via an adapter lookup, you'll need
- to change your code to expect a dictionary rather than a 3- or
- 6-tuple if your code ever gets return values from the default
- ModelGraphTraverser or RoutesModelTraverser adapters.
-
-0.8a7 (2009-05-16)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``RoutesMapper`` class in ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch`` has been
- removed, as well as its documentation. It had been deprecated since
- 0.6.3. Code in ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser``
- which catered to it has also been removed.
-
-- The semantics of the ``route`` ZCML directive have been simplified.
- Previously, it was assumed that to use a route, you wanted to map a
- route to an externally registered view. The new ``route`` directive
- instead has a ``view`` attribute which is required, specifying the
- dotted path to a view callable. When a route directive is
- processed, a view is *registered* using the name attribute of the
- route directive as its name and the callable as its value. The
- ``view_name`` and ``provides`` attributes of the ``route`` directive
- are therefore no longer used. Effectively, if you were previously
- using the ``route`` directive, it means you must change a pair of
- ZCML directives that look like this::
-
- <route
- name="home"
- path=""
- view_name="login"
- factory=".models.root.Root"
- />
-
- <view
- for=".models.root.Root"
- name="login"
- view=".views.login_view"
- />
-
- To a ZCML directive that looks like this::
-
- <route
- name="home"
- path=""
- view=".views.login_view"
- factory=".models.root.Root"
- />
-
- In other words, to make old code work, remove the ``view``
- directives that were only there to serve the purpose of backing
- ``route`` directives, and move their ``view=`` attribute into the
- ``route`` directive itself.
-
- This change also necessitated that the ``name`` attribute of the
- ``route`` directive is now required. If you were previously using
- ``route`` directives without a ``name`` attribute, you'll need to
- add one (the name is arbitrary, but must be unique among all
- ``route`` and ``view`` statements).
-
- The ``provides`` attribute of the ``route`` directive has also been
- removed. This directive specified a sequence of interface types
- that the generated context would be decorated with. Since route
- views are always generated now for a single interface
- (``repoze.bfg.IRoutesContext``) as opposed to being looked up
- arbitrarily, there is no need to decorate any context to ensure a
- view is found.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added API docs for the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` methods
- ``registerAdapter``, ``registerUtiity``, ``registerSubscriber``, and
- ``cleanUp``.
-
-- Added glossary entry for "root factory".
-
-- Noted existence of ``repoze.bfg.pagetemplate`` template bindings in
- "Available Add On Template System Bindings" in Templates chapter in
- narrative docs.
-
-- Update "Templates" narrative chapter in docs (expand to show a
- sample template and correct macro example).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Courtesty Carlos de la Guardia, added an ``alchemy`` Paster
- template. This paster template sets up a BFG project that uses
- SQAlchemy (with SQLite) and uses traversal to resolve URLs. (no
- Routes areused). This template can be used via ``paster create -t
- bfg_alchemy``.
-
-- The Routes ``Route`` object used to resolve the match is now put
- into the environment as ``bfg.route`` when URL dispatch is used.
-
-- You can now change the default Routes "context factory" globally.
- See the "ZCML Hooks" chapter of the documentation (in the "Changing
- the Default Routes Context Factory" section).
-
-0.8a6 (2009-05-11)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added a ``routesalchemy`` Paster template. This paster template
- sets up a BFG project that uses SQAlchemy (with SQLite) and uses
- Routes exclusively to resolve URLs (no traversal root factory is
- used). This template can be used via ``paster create -t
- bfg_routesalchemy``.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added documentation to the URL Dispatch chapter about how to catch
- the root URL using a ZCML ``route`` directive.
-
-- Added documentation to the URL Dispatch chapter about how to perform
- a cleanup function at the end of a request (e.g. close the SQL
- connection).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- In version 0.6.3, passing a ``get_root`` callback (a "root factory")
- to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` became optional if any ``route``
- declaration was made in ZCML. The intent was to make it possible to
- disuse traversal entirely, instead relying entirely on URL dispatch
- (Routes) to resolve all contexts. However a compound set of bugs
- prevented usage of a Routes-based root view (a view which responds
- to "/"). One bug existed in `repoze.bfg.urldispatch``, another
- existed in Routes itself.
-
- To resolve this issue, the urldispatch module was fixed, and a fork
- of the Routes trunk was put into the "dev" index named
- ``Routes-1.11dev-chrism-home``. The source for the fork exists at
- `http://bitbucket.org/chrism/routes-home/
- <http://bitbucket.org/chrism/routes-home/>`_; its contents have been
- merged into the Routes trunk (what will be Routes 1.11).
-
-0.8a5 (2009-05-08)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Two new security policies were added:
- RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy and
- WhoInheritingACLSecurityPolicy. These are security policies which
- take into account *all* ACLs defined in the lineage of a context
- rather than stopping at the first ACL found in a lineage. See the
- "Security" chapter of the API documentation for more information.
-
-- The API and narrative documentation dealing with security was
- changed to introduce the new "inheriting" security policy variants.
-
-- Added glossary entry for "lineage".
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The security policy previously named
- ``RepozeWhoIdentityACLSecurityPolicy`` now has the slightly saner
- name of ``WhoACLSecurityPolicy``. A deprecation warning is emitted
- when this policy is imported under the "old" name; usually this is
- due to its use in ZCML within your application. If you're getting
- this deprecation warning, change your ZCML to use the new name,
- e.g. change::
-
- <utility
- provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy"
- factory="repoze.bfg.security.RepozeWhoIdentityACLSecurityPolicy"
- />
-
- To::
-
- <utility
- provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy"
- factory="repoze.bfg.security.WhoACLSecurityPolicy"
- />
-
-0.8a4 (2009-05-04)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- ``zope.testing`` is no longer a direct dependency, although our
- dependencies (such as ``zope.interface``, ``repoze.zcml``, etc)
- still depend on it.
-
-- Tested on Google App Engine. Added a tutorial to the documentation
- explaining how to deploy a BFG app to GAE.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Applications which rely on ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` in unit
- tests can still use that function indefinitely. However, for
- maximum forward compatibility, they should import ``cleanUp`` from
- ``repoze.bfg.testing`` instead of from ``zope.testing.cleanup``.
- The BFG paster templates and docs have been changed to use this
- function instead of the ``zope.testing.cleanup`` version.
-
-0.8a3 (2009-05-03)
-===================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Don't require a successful import of ``zope.testing`` at BFG
- application runtime. This allows us to get rid of ``zope.testing``
- on platforms like GAE which have file limits.
-
-0.8a2 (2009-05-02)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- We no longer include the ``configure.zcml`` of the ``chameleon.zpt``
- package within the ``configure.zcml`` of the "repoze.bfg.includes"
- package. This has been a no-op for some time now.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` package no longer imports from
- ``chameleon.zpt`` at module scope, deferring the import until later
- within a method call. The ``chameleon.zpt`` package can't be
- imported on platforms like GAE.
-
-0.8a1 (2009-05-02)
-==================
-
-Deprecation Warning and Import Alias Removals
----------------------------------------------
-
-- Since version 0.6.1, a deprecation warning has been emitted when the
- name ``model_url`` is imported from the ``repoze.bfg.traversal``
- module. This import alias (and the deprecation warning) has been
- removed. Any import of the ``model_url`` function will now need to
- be done from ``repoze.bfg.url``; any import of the name
- ``model_url`` from ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` will now fail. This was
- done to remove a dependency on zope.deferredimport.
-
-- Since version 0.6.5, a deprecation warning has been emitted when the
- name ``RoutesModelTraverser`` is imported from the
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` module. This import alias (and the
- deprecation warning) has been removed. Any import of the
- ``RoutesModelTraverser`` class will now need to be done from
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch``; any import of the name
- ``RoutesModelTraverser`` from ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` will now
- fail. This was done to remove a dependency on zope.deferredimport.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- This release of ``repoze.bfg`` is "C-free". This means it has no
- hard dependencies on any software that must be compiled from C
- source at installation time. In particular, ``repoze.bfg`` no
- longer depends on the ``lxml`` package.
-
- This change has introduced some backwards incompatibilities,
- described in the "Backwards Incompatibilities" section below.
-
-- This release was tested on Windows XP. It appears to work fine and
- all the tests pass.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-Incompatibilities related to making ``repoze.bfg`` "C-free":
-
-- Removed the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` module, and thus support
- for Genshi-style chameleon templates. Genshi-style Chameleon
- templates depend upon ``lxml``, which is implemented in C (as
- opposed to pure Python) and the ``repoze.bfg`` core is "C-free" as
- of this release. You may get Genshi-style Chameleon support back by
- installing the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` package availalable
- from http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi (also
- available in the index at http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/0.8/simple).
- All existing code that depended on the ``chameleon_genshi`` module
- prior to this release of ``repoze.bfg`` should work without change
- after this addon is installed.
-
-- Removed the ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module and thus support for XSL
- templates. The ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module depended upon ``lxml``,
- which is implemented in C, and the ``repoze.bfg`` core is "C-free"
- as of this release. You bay get XSL templating back by installing
- the ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` package available from
- http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.xslt/ (also available in the index
- at http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/0.8/simple). All existing code that
- depended upon the ``xslt`` module prior to this release of
- ``repoze.bfg`` should work without modification after this addon is
- installed.
-
-- Removed the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplateRenderer``
- interface and the an old b/w compat aliases from that interface to
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplate``. This interface must now be
- imported from the ``repoze.bfg.xslt.interfaces`` package after
- installation of the ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` addon package described
- above as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplateRenderer``. This
- interface was never part of any public API.
-
-Other backwards incompatibilities:
-
-- The ``render_template`` function in ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt``
- returns Unicode instead of a string. Likewise, the individual
- values returned by the iterable created by the
- ``render_template_to_iterable`` function are also each Unicode.
- This is actually a backwards incompatibility inherited from our new
- use of the combination of ``chameleon.core`` 1.0b32 (the
- non-lxml-depending version) and ``chameleon.zpt`` 1.0b16+ ; the
- ``chameleon.zpt`` PageTemplateFile implementation used to return a
- string, but now returns Unicode.

-0.7.1 (2009-05-01)
-==================
-
-Index-Related
--------------
-
-- The canonical package index location for ``repoze.bfg`` has changed.
- The "old" index (http://dist.repoze.org/lemonade/dev/simple) has
- been superseded by a new index location
- (`http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/current/simple
- <http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/current/simple>`_). The installation
- documentation has been updated as well as the ``setup.cfg`` file in
- this package. The "lemonade" index still exists, but it is not
- guaranteed to have the latest BFG software in it, nor will it be
- maintained in the future.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The "paster create" templates have been modified to use links to the
- new "bfg.repoze.org" and "docs.repoze.org" websites.
-
-- Added better documentation for virtual hosting at a URL prefix
- within the virtual hosting docs chapter.
-
-- The interface for ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverser`` and the
- built-in implementations that implement the interface
- (``repoze.bfg.traversal.ModelGraphTraverser``, and
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser``) now expect the
- ``__call__`` method of an ITraverser to return 3 additional
- arguments: ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and
- ``virtual_root_path`` (the old contract was that the ``__call__``
- method of an ITraverser returned; three arguments, the contract new
- is that it returns six). ``traversed`` will be a sequence of
- Unicode names that were traversed (including the virtual root path,
- if any) or ``None`` if no traversal was performed, ``virtual_root``
- will be a model object representing the virtual root (or the
- physical root if traversal was not performed), and
- ``virtual_root_path`` will be a sequence representing the virtual
- root path (a sequence of Unicode names) or ``None`` if traversal was
- not performed.
-
- Six arguments are now returned from BFG ITraversers. They are
- returned in this order: ``context``, ``view_name``, ``subpath``,
- ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and ``virtual_root_path``.
-
- Places in the BFG code which called an ITraverser continue to accept
- a 3-argument return value, although BFG will generate and log a
- warning when one is encountered.
-
-- The request object now has the following attributes: ``traversed``
- (the sequence of names traversed or ``None`` if traversal was not
- performed), ``virtual_root`` (the model object representing the
- virtual root, including the virtual root path if any), and
- ``virtual_root_path`` (the seuquence of names representing the
- virtual root path or ``None`` if traversal was not performed).
-
-- A new decorator named ``wsgiapp2`` was added to the
- ``repoze.bfg.wsgi`` module. This decorator performs the same
- function as ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp`` except it fixes up the
- ``SCRIPT_NAME``, and ``PATH_INFO`` environment values before
- invoking the WSGI subapplication.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyRequest`` object now has default
- attributes for ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and
- ``virtual_root_path``.
-
-- The RoutesModelTraverser now behaves more like the Routes
- "RoutesMiddleware" object when an element in the match dict is named
- ``path_info`` (usually when there's a pattern like
- ``http://foo/*path_info``). When this is the case, the
- ``PATH_INFO`` environment variable is set to the value in the match
- dict, and the ``SCRIPT_NAME`` is appended to with the prefix of the
- original ``PATH_INFO`` not including the value of the new variable.
-
-- The notfound debug now shows the traversed path, the virtual root,
- and the virtual root path too.
-
-- Speed up / clarify 'traversal' module's 'model_path', 'model_path_tuple',
- and '_model_path_list' functions.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- In previous releases, the ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url``,
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` functions always ignored
- the ``__name__`` argument of the root object in a model graph (
- effectively replacing it with a leading ``/`` in the returned value)
- when a path or URL was generated. The code required to perform this
- operation was not efficient. As of this release, the root object in
- a model graph *must* have a ``__name__`` attribute that is either
- ``None`` or the empty string (``''``) for URLs and paths to be
- generated properly from these APIs. If your root model object has a
- ``__name__`` argument that is not one of these values, you will need
- to change your code for URLs and paths to be generated properly. If
- your model graph has a root node with a string ``__name__`` that is
- not null, the value of ``__name__`` will be prepended to every path
- and URL generated.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.location.LocationProxy`` class and the
- ``repoze.bfg.location.ClassAndInstanceDescr`` class have both been
- removed in order to be able to eventually shed a dependency on
- ``zope.proxy``. Neither of these classes was ever an API.
-
-- In all previous releases, the ``repoze.bfg.location.locate``
- function worked like so: if a model did not explicitly provide the
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface, ``locate`` returned a
- ``LocationProxy`` object representing ``model`` with its
- ``__parent__`` attribute assigned to ``parent`` and a ``__name__``
- attribute assigned to ``__name__``. In this release, the
- ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` function simply jams the ``__name__``
- and ``__parent__`` attributes on to the supplied model
- unconditionally, no matter if the object implements ILocation or
- not, and it never returns a proxy. This was done because the
- LocationProxy behavior has now moved into an add-on package
- (``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper``), in order to eventually be able to
- shed a dependency on ``zope.proxy``.
-
-- In all previous releases, by default, if traversal was used (as
- opposed to URL-dispatch), and the root object supplied
- the``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface, but the children
- returned via its ``__getitem__`` returned an object that did not
- implement the same interface, ``repoze.bfg`` provided some
- implicit help during traversal. This traversal feature wrapped
- subobjects from the root (and thereafter) that did not implement
- ``ILocation`` in proxies which automatically provided them with a
- ``__name__`` and ``__parent__`` attribute based on the name being
- traversed and the previous object traversed. This feature has now
- been removed from the base ``repoze.bfg`` package for purposes of
- eventually shedding a dependency on ``zope.proxy``.
-
- In order to re-enable the wrapper behavior for older applications
- which cannot be changed, register the "traversalwrapper"
- ``ModelGraphTraverser`` as the traversal policy, rather than the
- default ``ModelGraphTraverser``. To use this feature, you will need
- to install the ``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper`` package (an add-on
- package, available at
- http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper) Then change your
- application's ``configure.zcml`` to include the following stanza:
-
- <adapter
- factory="repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper.ModelGraphTraverser"
- provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverserFactory"
- for="*"
- />
-
- When this ITraverserFactory is used instead of the default, no
- object in the graph (even the root object) must supply a
- ``__name__`` or ``__parent__`` attribute. Even if subobjects
- returned from the root *do* implement the ILocation interface,
- these will still be wrapped in proxies that override the object's
- "real" ``__parent__`` and ``__name__`` attributes.
-
- See also changes to the "Models" chapter of the documentation (in
- the "Location-Aware Model Instances") section.
-
-0.7.0 (2009-04-11)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Fix a bug in ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``: the content length
- was returned as an int rather than as a string.
-
-- Add explicit dependencies on ``zope.deferredimport``,
- ``zope.deprecation``, and ``zope.proxy`` for forward compatibility
- reasons (``zope.component`` will stop relying on
- ``zope.deferredimport`` soon and although we use it directly, it's
- only a transitive dependency, and ''zope.deprecation`` and
- ``zope.proxy`` are used directly even though they're only transitive
- dependencies as well).
-
-- Using ``model_url`` or ``model_path`` against a broken model graph
- (one with models that had a non-root model with a ``__name__`` of
- ``None``) caused an inscrutable error to be thrown: ( if not
- ``_must_quote[cachekey].search(s): TypeError: expected string or
- buffer``). Now URLs and paths generated against graphs that have
- None names in intermediate nodes will replace the None with the
- empty string, and, as a result, the error won't be raised. Of
- course the URL or path will still be bogus.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Make it possible to have ``testing.DummyTemplateRenderer`` return
- some nondefault string representation.
-
-- Added a new ``anchor`` keyword argument to ``model_url``. If
- ``anchor`` is present, its string representation will be used
- as a named anchor in the generated URL (e.g. if ``anchor`` is
- passed as ``foo`` and the model URL is
- ``http://example.com/model/url``, the generated URL will be
- ``http://example.com/model/url#foo``).
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The default request charset encoding is now ``utf-8``. As a result,
- the request machinery will attempt to decode values from the utf-8
- encoding to Unicode automatically when they are obtained via
- ``request.params``, ``request.GET``, and ``request.POST``. The
- previous behavior of BFG was to return a bytestring when a value was
- accessed in this manner. This change will break form handling code
- in apps that rely on values from those APIs being considered
- bytestrings. If you are manually decoding values from form
- submissions in your application, you'll either need to change the
- code that does that to expect Unicode values from
- ``request.params``, ``request.GET`` and ``request.POST``, or you'll
- need to explicitly reenable the previous behavior. To reenable the
- previous behavior, add the following to your application's
- ``configure.zcml``::
-
- <subscriber for="repoze.bfg.interfaces.INewRequest"
- handler="repoze.bfg.request.make_request_ascii"/>
-
- See also the documentation in the "Views" chapter of the BFG docs
- entitled "Using Views to Handle Form Submissions (Unicode and
- Character Set Issues)".
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add a section to the narrative Views chapter entitled "Using Views
- to Handle Form Submissions (Unicode and Character Set Issues)"
- explaining implicit decoding of form data values.
-
-0.6.9 (2009-02-16)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- lru cache was unstable under concurrency (big surprise!) when it
- tried to redelete a key in the cache that had already been deleted.
- Symptom: line 64 in put:del data[oldkey]:KeyError: '/some/path'.
- Now we just ignore the key error if we can't delete the key (it has
- already been deleted).
-
-- Empty location names in model paths when generating a URL using
- ``repoze.bfg.model_url`` based on a model obtained via traversal are
- no longer ignored in the generated URL. This means that if a
- non-root model object has a ``__name__`` of ``''``, the URL will
- reflect it (e.g. ``model_url`` will generate ``http://foo/bar//baz``
- if an object with the ``__name__`` of ``''`` is a child of bar and
- the parent of baz). URLs generated with empty path segments are,
- however, still irresolveable by the model graph traverser on request
- ingress (the traverser strips empty path segment names).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Microspeedups of ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``,
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple``,
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment``, and
- ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``.
-
-- add zip_safe = false to setup.cfg.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add a note to the ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment`` API
- docs about caching of computed values.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- Simplification of
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.TraversalContextURL.__call__`` (it now uses
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` instead of rolling its own
- path-generation).
-
-0.6.8 (2009-02-05)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` API now returns a *quoted*
- string rather than a string represented by series of unquoted
- elements joined via ``/`` characters. Previously it returned a
- string or unicode object representing the model path, with each
- segment name in the path joined together via ``/`` characters,
- e.g. ``/foo /bar``. Now it returns a string, where each segment is
- a UTF-8 encoded and URL-quoted element e.g. ``/foo%20/bar``. This
- change was (as discussed briefly on the repoze-dev maillist)
- necessary to accomodate model objects which themselves have
- ``__name__`` attributes that contain the ``/`` character.
-
- For people that have no models that have high-order Unicode
- ``__name__`` attributes or ``__name__`` attributes with values that
- require URL-quoting with in their model graphs, this won't cause any
- issue. However, if you have code that currently expects
- ``model_path`` to return an unquoted string, or you have an existing
- application with data generated via the old method, and you're too
- lazy to change anything, you may wish replace the BFG-imported
- ``model_path`` in your code with this function (this is the code of
- the "old" ``model_path`` implementation)::
-
- from repoze.bfg.location import lineage
-
- def i_am_too_lazy_to_move_to_the_new_model_path(model, *elements):
- rpath = []
- for location in lineage(model):
- if location.__name__:
- rpath.append(location.__name__)
- path = '/' + '/'.join(reversed(rpath))
- if elements:
- suffix = '/'.join(elements)
- path = '/'.join([path, suffix])
- return path
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API no longer implicitly
- converts unicode representations of a full path passed to it as a
- Unicode object into a UTF-8 string. Callers should either use
- prequoted path strings returned by
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``, or tuple values returned by the
- result of ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` or they should
- use the guidelines about passing a string ``path`` argument
- described in the ``find_model`` API documentation.
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Each argument contained in ``elements`` passed to
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` will now have any ``/``
- characters contained within quoted to ``%2F`` in the returned
- string. Previously, ``/`` characters in elements were left unquoted
- (a bug).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` API was added. This API
- is an alternative to ``model_path`` (which returns a string);
- ``model_path_tuple`` returns a model path as a tuple (much like
- Zope's ``getPhysicalPath``).
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment`` API was added. This
- API will quote an individual path segment (string or unicode
- object). See the ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` API documentation for
- more information.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API now accepts "path
- tuples" (see the above note regarding ``model_path_tuple``) as well
- as string path representations (from
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``) as a ``path`` argument.
-
-- Add ` `renderer`` argument (defaulting to None) to
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerDummyRenderer``. This makes it
- possible, for instance, to register a custom renderer that raises an
- exception in a unit test.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- Moved _url_quote function back to ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` from
- ``repoze.bfg.url``. This is not an API.
-
-0.6.7 (2009-01-27)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` API now works against contexts
- derived from Routes URL dispatch (``Routes.util.url_for`` is called
- under the hood).
-
-- "Virtual root" support for traversal-based applications has been
- added. Virtual root support is useful when you'd like to host some
- model in a ``repoze.bfg`` model graph as an application under a
- URL pathname that does not include the model path itself. For more
- information, see the (new) "Virtual Hosting" chapter in the
- documentation.
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.virtual_root`` API has been added. When
- called, it returns the virtual root object (or the physical root
- object if no virtual root has been specified).
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.RoutesModelTraverser`` has been moved to
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch``.
-
-- ``model_url`` URL generation is now performed via an adapter lookup
- based on the context and the request.
-
-- ZCML which registers two adapters for the ``IContextURL`` interface
- has been added to the configure.zcml in ``repoze.bfg.includes``.
-
-0.6.6 (2009-01-26)
-==================
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- There is an indirection in ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` now that
- consults a utility to generate the base model url (without extra
- elements or a query string). Eventually this will service virtual
- hosting; for now it's undocumented and should not be hooked.
-
-0.6.5 (2009-01-26)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- You can now override the NotFound and Unauthorized responses that
- ``repoze.bfg`` generates when a view cannot be found or cannot be
- invoked due to lack of permission. See the "ZCML Hooks" chapter in
- the docs for more information.
-
-- Added Routes ZCML directive attribute explanations in documentation.
-
-- Added a ``traversal_path`` API to the traversal module; see the
- "traversal" API chapter in the docs. This was a function previously
- known as ``split_path`` that was not an API but people were using it
- anyway. Unlike ``split_path``, it now returns a tuple instead of a
- list (as its values are cached).
-
-Behavior Changes
-----------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_response`` API will no longer
- raise a ValueError if an object returned by a view function it calls
- does not possess certain attributes (``headerlist``, ``app_iter``,
- ``status``). This API used to attempt to perform a check using the
- ``is_response`` function in ``repoze.bfg.view``, and raised a
- ``ValueError`` if the ``is_response`` check failed. The
- responsibility is now the caller's to ensure that the return value
- from a view function is a "real" response.
-
-- WSGI environ dicts passed to ``repoze.bfg`` 's Router must now
- contain a REQUEST_METHOD key/value; if they do not, a KeyError will
- be raised (speed).
-
-- It is no longer permissible to pass a "nested" list of principals to
- ``repoze.bfg.ACLAuthorizer.permits`` (e.g. ``['fred', ['larry',
- 'bob']]``). The principals list must be fully expanded. This
- feature was never documented, and was never an API, so it's not a
- backwards incompatibility.
-
-- It is no longer permissible for a security ACE to contain a "nested"
- list of permissions (e.g. ``(Allow, Everyone, ['read', ['view',
- ['write', 'manage']]])`)`. The list must instead be fully expanded
- (e.g. ``(Allow, Everyone, ['read', 'view', 'write', 'manage])``). This
- feature was never documented, and was never an API, so it's not a
- backwards incompatibility.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesRootFactory`` now injects the
- ``wsgiorg.routing_args`` environment variable into the environ when
- a route matches. This is a tuple of ((), routing_args) where
- routing_args is the value that comes back from the routes mapper
- match (the "match dict").
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.RoutesModelTraverser`` class now wants to
- obtain the ``view_name`` and ``subpath`` from the
- ``wsgiorgs.routing_args`` environment variable. It falls back to
- obtaining these from the context for backwards compatibility.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- Get rid of ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLAuthorizer``: the
- ``ACLSecurityPolicy`` now does what it did inline.
-
-- Get rid of ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.NoAuthorizationInformation``
- exception: it was used only by ``ACLAuthorizer``.
-
-- Use a homegrown NotFound error instead of ``webob.exc.HTTPNotFound``
- (the latter is slow).
-
-- Use a homegrown Unauthorized error instead of
- ``webob.exc.Unauthorized`` (the latter is slow).
-
-- the ``repoze.bfg.lru.lru_cached`` decorator now uses functools.wraps
- in order to make documentation of LRU-cached functions possible.
-
-- Various speed micro-tweaks.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyModel`` did not have a ``get`` method;
- it now does.
-
-0.6.4 (2009-01-23)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``unicode_path_segments`` configuration variable and the
- ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS`` configuration variable have been
- removed. Path segments are now always passed to model
- ``__getitem__`` methods as unicode. "True" has been the default for
- this setting since 0.5.4, but changing this configuration setting to
- false allowed you to go back to passing raw path element strings to
- model ``__getitem__`` methods. Removal of this knob services a
- speed goal (we get about +80 req/s by removing the check), and it's
- clearer just to always expect unicode path segments in model
- ``__getitem__`` methods.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.split_path`` now also handles decoding
- path segments to unicode (for speed, because its results are
- cached).
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.step`` was made a method of the
- ModelGraphTraverser.
-
-- Use "precooked" Request subclasses
- (e.g. ``repoze.bfg.request.GETRequest``) that correspond to HTTP
- request methods within ``router.py`` when constructing a request
- object rather than using ``alsoProvides`` to attach the proper
- interface to an unsubclassed ``webob.Request``. This pattern is
- purely an optimization (e.g. preventing calls to ``alsoProvides``
- means the difference between 590 r/s and 690 r/s on a MacBook 2GHz).
-
-- Tease out an extra 4% performance boost by changing the Router;
- instead of using imported ZCA APIs, use the same APIs directly
- against the registry that is an attribute of the Router.
-
-- The registry used by BFG is now a subclass of
- ``zope.component.registry.Components`` (defined as
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry``); it has a ``notify`` method, a
- ``registerSubscriptionAdapter`` and a ``registerHandler`` method.
- If no subscribers are registered via ``registerHandler`` or
- ``registerSubscriptionAdapter``, ``notify`` is a noop for speed.
-
-- The Allowed and Denied classes in ``repoze.bfg.security`` now are
- lazier about constructing the representation of a reason message for
- speed; ``repoze.bfg.view_execution_permitted`` takes advantage of
- this.
-
-- The ``is_response`` check was sped up by about half at the expense
- of making its code slightly uglier.
-
-New Modules
------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.lru`` implements an LRU cache class and a decorator for
- internal use.
-
-0.6.3 (2009-01-19)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Readd ``root_policy`` attribute on Router object (as a property
- which returns the IRootFactory utility). It was inadvertently
- removed in 0.6.2. Code in the wild depended upon its presence
- (esp. scripts and "debug" helpers).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- URL-dispatch has been overhauled: it is no longer necessary to
- manually create a RoutesMapper in your application's entry point
- callable in order to use URL-dispatch (aka `Routes
- <http://routes.groovie.org>`_). A new ``route`` directive has been
- added to the available list of ZCML directives. Each ``route``
- directive inserted into your application's ``configure.zcml``
- establishes a Routes mapper connection. If any ``route``
- declarations are made via ZCML within a particular application, the
- ``get_root`` callable passed in to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``
- will automatically be wrapped in the equivalent of a RoutesMapper.
- Additionally, the new ``route`` directive allows the specification
- of a ``context_interfaces`` attribute for a route, this will be used
- to tag the manufactured routes context with specific interfaces when
- a route specifying a ``context_interfaces`` attribute is matched.
-
-- A new interface ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IContextNotFound`` was
- added. This interface is attached to a "dummy" context generated
- when Routes cannot find a match and there is no "fallback" get_root
- callable that uses traversal.
-
-- The ``bfg_starter`` and ``bfg_zodb`` "paster create" templates now
- contain images and CSS which are displayed when the default page is
- displayed after initial project generation.
-
-- Allow the ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` helper to be passed a relative
- ``root_path`` name; it will be considered relative to the file in
- which it was called.
-
-- The functionality of ``repoze.bfg.convention`` has been merged into
- the core. Applications which make use of ``repoze.bfg.convention``
- will continue to work indefinitely, but it is recommended that apps
- stop depending upon it. To do so, substitute imports of
- ``repoze.bfg.convention.bfg_view`` with imports of
- ``repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view``, and change the stanza in ZCML from
- ``<convention package=".">`` to ``<scan package=".">``. As a result
- of the merge, bfg has grown a new dependency: ``martian``.
-
-- View functions which use the pushpage decorator are now pickleable
- (meaning their use won't prevent a ``configure.zcml.cache`` file
- from being written to disk).
-
-- Instead of invariably using ``webob.Request`` as the "request
- factory" (e.g. in the ``Router`` class) and ``webob.Response`` and
- the "response factory" (e.g. in ``render_template_to_response``),
- allow both to be overridden via a ZCML utility hook. See the "Using
- ZCML Hooks" chapter of the documentation for more information.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The class ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContext`` has been renamed
- to ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.DefaultRoutesContext``. The class
- should be imported by the new name as necessary (although in reality
- it probably shouldn't be imported from anywhere except internally
- within BFG, as it's not part of the API).
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp`` decorator now uses
- ``webob.Request.get_response`` to do its work rather than relying on
- homegrown WSGI code.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` helper now uses
- ``webob.Request.get_response`` to do its work rather than relying on
- homegrown WSGI code.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser`` class has been
- moved to ``repoze.bfg.traversal.RoutesModelTraverser``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.registry.makeRegistry`` function was renamed to
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.populateRegistry`` and now accepts a
- ``registry`` argument (which should be an instance of
- ``zope.component.registry.Components``).
-
-Documentation Additions
------------------------
-
-- Updated narrative urldispatch chapter with changes required by
- ``<route..>`` ZCML directive.
-
-- Add a section on "Using BFG Security With URL Dispatch" into the
- urldispatch chapter of the documentation.
-
-- Better documentation of security policy implementations that ship
- with repoze.bfg.
-
-- Added a "Using ZPT Macros in repoze.bfg" section to the narrative
- templating chapter.
-
-0.6.2 (2009-01-13)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Tests can be run with coverage output if you've got ``nose``
- installed in the interpreter which you use to run tests. Using an
- interpreter with ``nose`` installed, do ``python setup.py
- nosetests`` within a checkout of the ``repoze.bfg`` package to see
- test coverage output.
-
-- Added a ``post`` argument to the ``repoze.bfg.testing:DummyRequest``
- constructor.
-
-- Added ``__len__`` and ``__nonzero__`` to ``repoze.bfg.testing:DummyModel``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.registry.get_options`` callable (now renamed to
- ``repoze.bfg.setings.get_options``) used to return only
- framework-specific keys and values in the dictionary it returned.
- It now returns all the keys and values in the dictionary it is
- passed *plus* any framework-specific settings culled from the
- environment. As a side effect, all PasteDeploy application-specific
- config file settings are made available as attributes of the
- ``ISettings`` utility from within BFG.
-
-- Renamed the existing BFG paster template to ``bfg_starter``. Added
- another template (``bfg_zodb``) showing default ZODB setup using
- ``repoze.zodbconn``.
-
-- Add a method named ``assert_`` to the DummyTemplateRenderer. This
- method accepts keyword arguments. Each key/value pair in the
- keyword arguments causes an assertion to be made that the renderer
- received this key with a value equal to the asserted value.
-
-- Projects generated by the paster templates now use the
- ``DummyTemplateRenderer.assert_`` method in their view tests.
-
-- Make the (internal) thread local registry manager maintain a stack
- of registries in order to make it possible to call one BFG
- application from inside another.
-
-- An interface specific to the HTTP verb (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE/HEAD) is
- attached to each request object on ingress. The HTTP-verb-related
- interfaces are defined in ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` and are
- ``IGETRequest``, ``IPOSTRequest``, ``IPUTRequest``,
- ``IDELETERequest`` and ``IHEADRequest``. These interfaces can be
- specified as the ``request_type`` attribute of a bfg view
- declaration. A view naming a specific HTTP-verb-matching interface
- will be found only if the view is defined with a request_type that
- matches the HTTP verb in the incoming request. The more general
- ``IRequest`` interface can be used as the request_type to catch all
- requests (and this is indeed the default). All requests implement
- ``IRequest``. The HTTP-verb-matching idea was pioneered by
- `repoze.bfg.restrequest
- <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/repoze.bfg.restrequest/1.0.1>`_ . That
- package is no longer required, but still functions fine.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Fix a bug where the Paste configuration's ``unicode_path_segments``
- (and os.environ's ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS``) may have been
- defaulting to false in some circumstances. It now always defaults
- to true, matching the documentation and intent.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API did not work properly
- when passed a ``path`` argument which was unicode and contained
- high-order bytes when the ``unicode_path_segments`` or
- ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS`` configuration variables were "true".
-
-- A new module was added: ``repoze.bfg.settings``. This contains
- deployment-settings-related code.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- The ``make_app`` callable within ``repoze.bfg.router`` now registers
- the ``root_policy`` argument as a utility (unnamed, using the new
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootFactory`` as a provides interface)
- rather than passing it as the first argument to the
- ``repoze.bfg.router.Router`` class. As a result, the
- ``repoze.bfg.router.Router`` router class only accepts a single
- argument: ``registry``. The ``repoze.bfg.router.Router`` class
- retrieves the root policy via a utility lookup now. The
- ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` API also now performs some important
- application registrations that were previously handled inside
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.makeRegistry``.
-
-New Modules
------------
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.settings`` module was added. It contains code
- related to deployment settings. Most of the code it contains was
- moved to it from the ``repoze.bfg.registry`` module.
-
-Behavior Changes
-----------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.settings.Settings`` class (an instance of which is
- registered as a utility providing
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISettings`` when any application is started)
- now automatically calls ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_options`` on the
- options passed to its constructor. This means that usage of
- ``get_options`` within an application's ``make_app`` function is no
- longer required (the "raw" ``options`` dict or None may be passed).
-
-- Remove old cold which attempts to recover from trying to unpickle a
- ``z3c.pt`` template; Chameleon has been the templating engine for a
- good long time now. Running repoze.bfg against a sandbox that has
- pickled ``z3c.pt`` templates it will now just fail with an
- unpickling error, but can be fixed by deleting the template cache
- files.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Moved the ``repoze.bfg.registry.Settings`` class. This has been
- moved to ``repoze.bfg.settings.Settings``. A deprecation warning is
- issued when it is imported from the older location.
-
-- Moved the ``repoze.bfg.registry.get_options`` function This has been
- moved to ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_options``. A deprecation warning
- is issued when it is imported from the older location.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootPolicy`` interface was renamed
- within the interfaces package. It has been renamed to
- ``IRootFactory``. A deprecation warning is issued when it is
- imported from the older location.
-
-0.6.1 (2009-01-06)
-==================
-
-New Modules
------------
-
-- A new module ``repoze.bfg.url`` has been added. It contains the
- ``model_url`` API (moved from ``repoze.bfg.traversal``) and an
- implementation of ``urlencode`` (like Python's
- ``urllib.urlencode``) which can handle Unicode keys and values in
- parameters to the ``query`` argument.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``model_url`` function has been moved from
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` into ``repoze.bfg.url``. It can still
- be imported from ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` but an import from
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` will emit a DeprecationWarning.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A ``static`` helper class was added to the ``repoze.bfg.views``
- module. Instances of this class are willing to act as BFG views
- which return static resources using files on disk. See the
- ``repoze.bfg.view`` docs for more info.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` API (nee'
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_url``) now accepts and honors a
- keyword argument named ``query``. The value of this argument
- will be used to compose a query string, which will be attached to
- the generated URL before it is returned. See the API docs (in
- the docs directory or `on the web
- <http://static.repoze.org/bfgdocs>`_) for more information.
-
-0.6 (2008-12-26)
-================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Rather than prepare the "stock" implementations of the ZCML directives
- from the ``zope.configuration`` package for use under ``repoze.bfg``,
- ``repoze.bfg`` now makes available the implementations of directives
- from the ``repoze.zcml`` package (see http://static.repoze.org/zcmldocs).
- As a result, the ``repoze.bfg`` package now depends on the
- ``repoze.zcml`` package, and no longer depends directly on the
- ``zope.component``, ``zope.configuration``, ``zope.interface``, or
- ``zope.proxy`` packages.
-
- The primary reason for this change is to enable us to eventually reduce
- the number of inappropriate ``repoze.bfg`` Zope package dependencies,
- as well as to shed features of dependent package directives that don't
- make sense for ``repoze.bfg``.
-
- Note that currently the set of requirements necessary to use bfg has not
- changed. This is due to inappropriate Zope package requirements in
- ``chameleon.zpt``, which will hopefully be remedied soon. NOTE: in
- lemonade index a 1.0b8-repozezcml0 package exists which does away with
- these requirements.
-
-- BFG applications written prior to this release which expect the "stock"
- ``zope.component`` ZCML directive implementations (e.g. ``adapter``,
- ``subscriber``, or ``utility``) to function now must either 1) include
- the ``meta.zcml`` file from ``zope.component`` manually (e.g. ``<include
- package="zope.component" file="meta.zcml">``) and include the
- ``zope.security`` package as an ``install_requires`` dependency or 2)
- change the ZCML in their applications to use the declarations from
- `repoze.zcml <http://static.repoze.org/zcmldocs/>`_ instead of the stock
- declarations. ``repoze.zcml`` only makes available the ``adapter``,
- ``subscriber`` and ``utility`` directives.
-
- In short, if you've got an existing BFG application, after this
- update, if your application won't start due to an import error for
- "zope.security", the fastest way to get it working again is to add
- ``zope.security`` to the "install_requires" of your BFG
- application's ``setup.py``, then add the following ZCML anywhere
- in your application's ``configure.zcml``::
-
- <include package="zope.component" file="meta.zcml">
-
- Then re-``setup.py develop`` or reinstall your application.
-
-- The ``http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg`` XML namespace is now the default
- XML namespace in ZCML for paster-generated applications. The docs have
- been updated to reflect this.
-
-- The copies of BFG's ``meta.zcml`` and ``configure.zcml`` were removed
- from the root of the ``repoze.bfg`` package. In 0.3.6, a new package
- named ``repoze.bfg.includes`` was added, which contains the "correct"
- copies of these ZCML files; the ones that were removed were for backwards
- compatibility purposes.
-
-- The BFG ``view`` ZCML directive no longer calls
- ``zope.component.interface.provideInterface`` for the ``for`` interface.
- We don't support ``provideInterface`` in BFG because it mutates the
- global registry.
-
-Other
------
-
-- The minimum requirement for ``chameleon.core`` is now 1.0b13. The
- minimum requirement for ``chameleon.zpt`` is now 1.0b8. The minimum
- requirement for ``chameleon.genshi`` is now 1.0b2.
-
-- Updated paster template "ez_setup.py" to one that requires setuptools
- 0.6c9.
-
-- Turn ``view_execution_permitted`` from the ``repoze.bfg.view`` module
- into a documented API.
-
-- Doc cleanups.
-
-- Documented how to create a view capable of serving static resources.
-
-0.5.6 (2008-12-18)
-==================
-
-- Speed up ``traversal.model_url`` execution by using a custom url quoting
- function instead of Python's ``urllib.quote``, by caching URL path
- segment quoting and encoding results, by disusing Python's
- ``urlparse.urljoin`` in favor of a simple string concatenation, and by
- using ``ob.__class__ is unicode`` rather than ``isinstance(ob, unicode)``
- in one strategic place.
-
-0.5.5 (2008-12-17)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- In the past, during traversal, the ModelGraphTraverser (the default
- traverser) always passed each URL path segment to any ``__getitem__``
- method of a model object as a byte string (a ``str`` object). Now, by
- default the ModelGraphTraverser attempts to decode the path segment to
- Unicode (a ``unicode`` object) using the UTF-8 encoding before passing it
- to the ``__getitem__`` method of a model object. This makes it possible
- for model objects to be dumber in ``__getitem__`` when trying to resolve
- a subobject, as model objects themselves no longer need to try to divine
- whether or not to try to decode the path segment passed by the
- traverser.
-
- Note that since 0.5.4, URLs generated by repoze.bfg's ``model_url`` API
- will contain UTF-8 encoded path segments as necessary, so any URL
- generated by BFG itself will be decodeable by the traverser. If another
- application generates URLs to a BFG application, to be resolved
- successully, it should generate the URL with UTF-8 encoded path segments
- to be successfully resolved. The decoder is not at all magical: if a
- non-UTF-8-decodeable path segment (e.g. one encoded using UTF-16 or some
- other insanity) is passed in the URL, BFG will raise a ``TypeError`` with
- a message indicating it could not decode the path segment.
-
- To turn on the older behavior, where path segments were not decoded to
- Unicode before being passed to model object ``__getitem__`` by the
- traverser, and were passed as a raw byte string, set the
- ``unicode_path_segments`` configuration setting to a false value in your
- BFG application's section of the paste .ini file, for example::
-
- unicode_path_segments = False
-
- Or start the application using the ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENT`` envvar
- set to a false value::
-
- BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS=0
-
-0.5.4 (2008-12-13)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- URL-quote "extra" element names passed in as ``**elements`` to the
- ``traversal.model_url`` API. If any of these names is a Unicode string,
- encode it to UTF-8 before URL-quoting. This is a slight backwards
- incompatibility that will impact you if you were already UTF-8 encoding
- or URL-quoting the values you passed in as ``elements`` to this API.
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- UTF-8 encode each segment in the model path used to generate a URL before
- url-quoting it within the ``traversal.model_url`` API. This is a bugfix,
- as Unicode cannot always be successfully URL-quoted.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Make it possible to run unit tests using a buildout-generated Python
- "interpreter".
-
-- Add ``request.root`` to ``router.Router`` in order to have easy access to
- the application root.
-
-0.5.3 (2008-12-07)
-==================
-
-- Remove the ``ITestingTemplateRenderer`` interface. When
- ``testing.registerDummyRenderer`` is used, it instead registers a dummy
- implementation using ``ITemplateRenderer`` interface, which is checked
- for when the built-in templating facilities do rendering. This change
- also allows developers to make explcit named utility registrations in
- the ZCML registry against ``ITemplateRenderer``; these will be found
- before any on-disk template is looked up.
-
-0.5.2 (2008-12-05)
-==================
-
-- The component registration handler for views (functions or class
- instances) now observes component adaptation annotations (see
- ``zope.component.adaptedBy``) and uses them before the fallback values
- for ``for_`` and ``request_type``. This change does not affect existing
- code insomuch as the code does not rely on these defaults when an
- annotation is set on the view (unlikely). This means that for a
- new-style class you can do ``zope.component.adapts(ISomeContext,
- ISomeRequest)`` at class scope or at module scope as a decorator to a
- bfg view function you can do ``@zope.component.adapter(ISomeContext,
- ISomeRequest)``. This differs from r.bfg.convention inasmuch as you
- still need to put something in ZCML for the registrations to get done;
- it's only the defaults that will change if these declarations exist.
-
-- Strip all slashes from end and beginning of path in clean_path within
- traversal machinery.
-
-0.5.1 (2008-11-25)
-==================
-
-- Add ``keys``, ``items``, and ``values`` methods to
- ``testing.DummyModel``.
-
-- Add __delitem__ method to ``testing.DummyModel``.
-
-0.5.0 (2008-11-18)
-==================
-
-- Fix ModelGraphTraverser; don't try to change the ``__name__`` or
- ``__parent__`` of an object that claims it implements ILocation during
- traversal even if the ``__name__`` or ``__parent__`` of the object
- traversed does not match the name used in the traversal step or the or
- the traversal parent . Rationale: it was insane to do so. This bug was
- only found due to a misconfiguration in an application that mistakenly
- had intermediate persistent non-ILocation objects; traversal was causing
- a persistent write on every request under this setup.
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` now unconditionally sets ``__name__`` and
- ``__parent__`` on objects which provide ILocation (it previously only set
- them conditionally if they didn't match attributes already present on the
- object via equality).
-
-0.4.9 (2008-11-17)
-==================
-
-- Add chameleon text template API (chameleon ${name} renderings where the
- template does not need to be wrapped in any containing XML).
-
-- Change docs to explain install in terms of a virtualenv
- (unconditionally).
-
-- Make pushpage decorator compatible with repoze.bfg.convention's
- ``bfg_view`` decorator when they're stacked.
-
-- Add content_length attribute to testing.DummyRequest.
-
-- Change paster template ``tests.py`` to include a true unit test. Retain
- old test as an integration test. Update documentation.
-
-- Document view registrations against classes and ``repoze.bfg.convention``
- in context.
-
-- Change the default paster template to register its single view against a
- class rather than an interface.
-
-- Document adding a request type interface to the request via a subscriber
- function in the events narrative documentation.
-
-0.4.8 (2008-11-12)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_url`` now always appends a slash to all
- generated URLs unless further elements are passed in as the third and
- following arguments. Rationale: views often use ``model_url`` without
- the third-and-following arguments in order to generate a URL for a model
- in order to point at the default view of a model. The URL that points to
- the default view of the *root* model is technically ``http://mysite/`` as
- opposed to ``http://mysite`` (browsers happen to ask for '/' implicitly
- in the GET request). Because URLs are never automatically generated for
- anything *except* models by ``model_url``, and because the root model is
- not really special, we continue this pattern. The impact of this change
- is minimal (at most you will have too many slashes in your URL, which BFG
- deals with gracefully anyway).
-
-0.4.7 (2008-11-11)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Allow ``testing.registerEventListener`` to be used with Zope 3 style
- "object events" (subscribers accept more than a single event argument).
- We extend the list with the arguments, rather than append.
-
-0.4.6 (2008-11-10)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``model_path`` and ``model_url`` traversal APIs returned the wrong
- value for the root object (e.g. ``model_path`` returned ``''`` for the
- root object, while it should have been returning ``'/'``).
-
-0.4.5 (2008-11-09)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added a ``clone`` method and a ``__contains__`` method to the DummyModel
- testing object.
-
-- Allow DummyModel objects to receive extra keyword arguments, which will
- be attached as attributes.
-
-- The DummyTemplateRenderer now returns ``self`` as its implementation.
-
-0.4.4 (2008-11-08)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added a ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module to attempt to make it slightly
- easier to write unittest-based automated tests of BFG applications.
- Information about this module is in the documentation.
-
-- The default template renderer now supports testing better by looking for
- ``ITestingTemplateRenderer`` using a relative pathname. This is exposed
- indirectly through the API named ``registerTemplateRenderer`` in
- ``repoze.bfg.testing``.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The names ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` ,
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplate`` have been deprecated. These
- should now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory``, and
- ``INodeTemplateRenderer`` respectively.
-
-- The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` is deprecated.
- Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateRenderer``.
-
-- The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateFactory`` is
- deprecated. Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateRenderer``.
-
-- The name ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. Use
- ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateRenderer``.
-
-0.4.3 (2008-11-02)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Not passing the result of "get_options" as the second argument of
- make_app could cause attribute errors when attempting to look up settings
- against the ISettings object (internal). Fixed by giving the Settings
- objects defaults for ``debug_authorization`` and ``debug_notfound``.
-
-- Return an instance of ``Allowed`` (rather than ``True``) from
- ``has_permission`` when no security policy is in use.
-
-- Fix bug where default deny in authorization check would throw a TypeError
- (use ``ACLDenied`` instead of ``Denied``).
-
-0.4.2 (2008-11-02)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Expose a single ILogger named "repoze.bfg.debug" as a utility; this
- logger is registered unconditionally and is used by the authorization
- debug machinery. Applications may also make use of it as necessary
- rather than inventing their own logger, for convenience.
-
-- The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` envvar and the ``debug_authorization``
- config file value now only imply debugging of view-invoked security
- checks. Previously, information was printed for every call to
- ``has_permission`` as well, which made output confusing. To debug
- ``has_permission`` checks and other manual permission checks, use the
- debugger and print statements in your own code.
-
-- Authorization debugging info is now only present in the HTTP response
- body oif ``debug_authorization`` is true.
-
-- The format of authorization debug messages was improved.
-
-- A new ``BFG_DEBUG_NOTFOUND`` envvar was added and a symmetric
- ``debug_notfound`` config file value was added. When either is true, and
- a NotFound response is returned by the BFG router (because a view could
- not be found), debugging information is printed to stderr. When this
- value is set true, the body of HTTPNotFound responses will also contain
- the same debugging information.
-
-- ``Allowed`` and ``Denied`` responses from the security machinery are now
- specialized into two types: ACL types, and non-ACL types. The
- ACL-related responses are instances of ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLAllowed``
- and ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLDenied``. The non-ACL-related responses are
- ``repoze.bfg.security.Allowed`` and ``repoze.bfg.security.Denied``. The
- allowed-type responses continue to evaluate equal to things that
- themselves evaluate equal to the ``True`` boolean, while the denied-type
- responses continue to evaluate equal to things that themselves evaluate
- equal to the ``False`` boolean. The only difference between the two
- types is the information attached to them for debugging purposes.
-
-- Added a new ``BFG_DEBUG_ALL`` envvar and a symmetric ``debug_all`` config
- file value. When either is true, all other debug-related flags are set
- true unconditionally (e.g. ``debug_notfound`` and
- ``debug_authorization``).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added info about debug flag changes.
-
-- Added a section to the security chapter named "Debugging Imperative
- Authorization Failures" (for e.g. ``has_permssion``).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Change default paster template generator to use ``Paste#http`` server
- rather than ``PasteScript#cherrpy`` server. The cherrypy server has a
- security risk in it when ``REMOTE_USER`` is trusted by the downstream
- application.
-
-0.4.1 (2008-10-28)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- If the ``render_view_to_response`` function was called, if the view was
- found and called, but it returned something that did not implement
- IResponse, the error would pass by unflagged. This was noticed when I
- created a view function that essentially returned None, but received a
- NotFound error rather than a ValueError when the view was rendered. This
- was fixed.
-
-0.4.0 (2008-10-03)
-==================
-
-Docs
-----
-
-- An "Environment and Configuration" chapter was added to the narrative
- portion of the documentation.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Ensure bfg doesn't generate warnings when running under Python
- 2.6.
-
-- The environment variable ``BFG_RELOAD_TEMPLATES`` is now available
- (serves the same purpose as ``reload_templates`` in the config file).
-
-- A new configuration file option ``debug_authorization`` was added.
- This turns on printing of security authorization debug statements
- to ``sys.stderr``. The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` environment
- variable was also added; this performs the same duty.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The environment variable ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` did not always work.
- It has been renamed to ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` and fixed.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- A deprecation warning is now issued when old API names from the
- ``repoze.bfg.templates`` module are imported.
-
-Backwards incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` environment variable was renamed to
- ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION``.
-
-0.3.9 (2008-08-27)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.location`` API module was added.
-
-Backwards incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Applications must now use the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation``
- interface rather than ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` to
- represent that a model object is "location-aware". We've removed
- a dependency on ``zope.location`` for cleanliness purposes: as
- new versions of zope libraries are released which have improved
- dependency information, getting rid of our dependence on
- ``zope.location`` will prevent a newly installed repoze.bfg
- application from requiring the ``zope.security``, egg, which not
- truly used at all in a "stock" repoze.bfg setup. These
- dependencies are still required by the stack at this time; this
- is purely a futureproofing move.
-
- The security and model documentation for previous versions of
- ``repoze.bfg`` recommended using the
- ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` interface to represent
- that a model object is "location-aware". This documentation has
- been changed to reflect that this interface should now be
- imported from ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` instead.

-0.3.8 (2008-08-26)
-==================
-
-Docs
-----
-
-- Documented URL dispatch better in narrative form.
-
-Bug fixes
----------
-
-- Routes URL dispatch did not have access to the WSGI environment,
- so conditions such as method=GET did not work.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add ``principals_allowed_by_permission`` API to security module.
-
-- Replace ``z3c.pt`` support with support for ``chameleon.zpt``.
- Chameleon is the new name for the package that used to be named
- ``z3c.pt``. NOTE: If you update a ``repoze.bfg`` SVN checkout
- that you're using for development, you will need to run "setup.py
- install" or "setup.py develop" again in order to obtain the
- proper Chameleon packages. ``z3c.pt`` is no longer supported by
- ``repoze.bfg``. All API functions that used to render ``z3c.pt``
- templates will work fine with the new packages, and your
- templates should render almost identically.
-
-- Add a ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` module. This module provides
- Chameleon ZPT support.
-
-- Add a ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module. This module provides XSLT
- support.
-
-- Add a ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` module. This provides
- direct Genshi support, which did not exist previously.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Importing API functions directly from ``repoze.bfg.template`` is
- now deprecated. The ``get_template``, ``render_template``,
- ``render_template_to_response`` functions should now be imported
- from ``repoze.chameleon_zpt``. The ``render_transform``, and
- ``render_transform_to_response`` functions should now be imported
- from ``repoze.bfg.xslt``. The ``repoze.bfg.template`` module
- will remain around "forever" to support backwards compatibility.
-
-0.3.7 (2008-09-09)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add compatibility with z3c.pt 1.0a7+ (z3c.pt became a namespace package).
-
-Bug fixes
----------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` function did not function properly.
-
-0.3.6 (2008-09-04)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add startup process docs.
-
-- Allow configuration cache to be bypassed by actions which include special
- "uncacheable" discriminators (for actions that have variable results).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Move core repoze.bfg ZCML into a ``repoze.bfg.includes`` package so we
- can use repoze.bfg better as a namespace package. Adjust the code
- generator to use it. We've left around the ``configure.zcml`` in the
- repoze.bfg package directly so as not to break older apps.
-
-- When a zcml application registry cache was unpickled, and it contained a
- reference to an object that no longer existed (such as a view), bfg would
- not start properly.
-
-0.3.5 (2008-09-01)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Event notification is issued after application is created and configured
- (``IWSGIApplicationCreatedEvent``).
-
-- New API module: ``repoze.bfg.view``. This module contains the functions
- named ``render_view_to_response``, ``render_view_to_iterable``,
- ``render_view`` and ``is_response``, which are documented in the API
- docs. These features aid programmatic (non-server-driven) view
- execution.
-
-0.3.4 (2008-08-28)
-==================
-
-Backwards incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Make ``repoze.bfg`` a namespace package so we can allow folks to create
- subpackages (e.g. ``repoze.bfg.otherthing``) within separate eggs. This
- is a backwards incompatible change which makes it impossible to import
- "make_app" and "get_options" from the ``repoze.bfg`` module directly.
- This change will break all existing apps generated by the paster code
- generator. Instead, you need to import these functions as
- ``repoze.bfg.router:make_app`` and ``repoze.bfg.registry:get_options``,
- respectively. Sorry folks, it has to be done now or never, and
- definitely better now.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add ``model_path`` API function to traversal module.
-
-Bugfixes
-
-- Normalize path returned by repoze.bfg.caller_path.
-
-0.3.3 (2008-08-23)
-==================
-
-- Fix generated test.py module to use project name rather than package
- name.
-
-0.3.2 (2008-08-23)
-==================
-
-- Remove ``sampleapp`` sample application from bfg package itself.
-
-- Remove dependency on FormEncode (only needed by sampleapp).
-
-- Fix paster template generation so that case-sensitivity is preserved for
- project vs. package name.
-
-- Depend on ``z3c.pt`` version 1.0a1 (which requires the ``[lxml]`` extra
- currently).
-
-- Read and write a pickled ZCML actions list, stored as
- ``configure.zcml.cache`` next to the applications's "normal"
- configuration file. A given bfg app will usually start faster if it's
- able to read the pickle data. It fails gracefully to reading the real
- ZCML file if it cannot read the pickle.
-
-0.3.1 (2008-08-20)
-==================
-
-- Generated application differences: ``make_app`` entry point renamed to
- ``app`` in order to have a different name than the bfg function of the
- same name, to prevent confusion.
-
-- Add "options" processing to bfg's ``make_app`` to support runtime
- options. A new API function named ``get_options`` was added to the
- registry module. This function is typically used in an application's
- ``app`` entry point. The Paste config file section for the app can now
- supply the ``reload_templates`` option, which, if true, will prevent the
- need to restart the appserver in order for ``z3c.pt`` or XSLT template
- changes to be detected.
-
-- Use only the module name in generated project's "test_suite" (run all
- tests found in the package).
-
-- Default port for generated apps changed from 5432 to 6543 (Postgres
- default port is 6543).
-
-0.3.0 (2008-08-16)
-==================
-
-- Add ``get_template`` API to template module.
-
-0.2.9 (2008-08-11)
-==================
-
-- 0.2.8 was "brown bag" release. It didn't work at all. Symptom:
- ComponentLookupError when trying to render a page.
-
-0.2.8 (2008-08-11)
-==================
-
-- Add ``find_model`` and ``find_root`` traversal APIs. In the process,
- make ITraverser a uni-adapter (on context) rather than a multiadapter (on
- context and request).
-
-0.2.7 (2008-08-05)
-==================
-
-- Add a ``request_type`` attribute to the available attributes of a
- ``bfg:view`` configure.zcml element. This attribute will have a value
- which is a dotted Python path, pointing at an interface. If the request
- object implements this interface when the view lookup is performed, the
- appropriate view will be called. This is meant to allow for simple
- "skinning" of sites based on request type. An event subscriber should
- attach the interface to the request on ingress to support skins.
-
-- Remove "template only" views. These were just confusing and were never
- documented.
-
-- Small url dispatch overhaul: the ``connect`` method of the
- ``urldispatch.RoutesMapper`` object now accepts a keyword parameter named
- ``context_factory``. If this parameter is supplied, it must be a
- callable which returns an instance. This instance is used as the context
- for the request when a route is matched.
-
-- The registration of a RoutesModelTraverser no longer needs to be
- performed by the application; it's in the bfg ZCML now.
-
-0.2.6 (2008-07-31)
-==================
-
-- Add event sends for INewRequest and INewResponse. See the events.rst
- chapter in the documentation's ``api`` directory.
-
-0.2.5 (2008-07-28)
-==================
-
-- Add ``model_url`` API.
-
-0.2.4 (2008-07-27)
-==================
-
-- Added url-based dispatch.
-
-0.2.3 (2008-07-20)
-==================
-
-- Add API functions for authenticated_userid and effective_principals.
-
-0.2.2 (2008-07-20)
-==================
-
-- Add authenticated_userid and effective_principals API to security
- policy.
-
-0.2.1 (2008-07-20)
-==================
-
-- Add find_interface API.
-
-0.2 (2008-07-19)
-================
-
-- Add wsgiapp decorator.
-
-- The concept of "view factories" was removed in favor of always calling a
- view, which is a callable that returns a response directly (as opposed to
- returning a view). As a result, the ``factory`` attribute in the
- bfg:view ZCML statement has been renamed to ``view``. Various interface
- names were changed also.
-
-- ``render_template`` and ``render_transform`` no longer return a Response
- object. Instead, these return strings. The old behavior can be obtained
- by using ``render_template_to_response`` and
- ``render_transform_to_response``.
-
-- Added 'repoze.bfg.push:pushpage' decorator, which creates BFG views from
- callables which take (context, request) and return a mapping of top-level
- names.
-
-- Added ACL-based security.
-
-- Support for XSLT templates via a render_transform method
-
-0.1 (2008-07-08)
-================
-
-- Initial release.
